    AT Tires for HD... bear with me

    I second the Falken Wildpeaks. I am impressed as they are an inexpensive tire how well they work great in rain, I had them in snow and they worked really well (2wd 2500 truck). they are also good in sand. I have to say for around 660.00 E rated tires, you cant beat them. Not real noisy...

    Lower the front of a 3500 4WD

    hey I have a 16 2500 2wd. You can put stock 2wd springs on a lower the front 2 inches and still have the load carrying capacity. I didnt get a 4wd mainly because it was just too tall for the little bit of 4wheeling i might do.

    2012 Ram 1500 5.7 bad fuel economy?

    and of course, if you are looking for that kind of mileage, you need a smaller vehicle. I prefer something big and will just suck up and pay the bill. Its interesting though when you compare a 1500 crew and a 2500 crew mileage; all the weight of the running gear; big 8lug wheels and brakes, 10...

    2012 Ram 1500 5.7 bad fuel economy?

    Yea I see posts like this at times and quite honestly I dont believe it. Never seen these mileage out of a V8. I have had 4 5.7Ls. My 09 1500 crew got the best mileage and had at least a 3.55 rear, but more than likely a 3.73 based on the pickup. Steady 75 it would get 18.5 best tank...

    Going from a 5.7 1500 to a 6.4/6.7 2500.

    I had a 1500 crew cab which I loved (09) but hated the short little usless bed. I bought a used 16 2500 crew for the 6”4 bed and because it was cheap in comparison with 18k on the Odo. As you have read gas mileage is dismal- avg 14.3 and best of 16ish on the hwy doing cruise at 80mph compared...

    What DON'T you like about your RAM?

    where does the cabin filter go? I figure the 2500 must have the space too. Is it under the windshield cowl? How do you get to it or is it inside?

    What DON'T you like about your RAM?

    I have had three Rams and currently have a 16 2500. My main issue being it rides like hell. They could put some engineering into the springs so they were progressive, first 1/3 of the travel handles small bumps and soaks them up completely, 2nd 1/3 handles medium bumps and final handles hard...

    could someone please measure their ride height 1500 4wd stock

    I am trying to find out what the stock height is center of axle to bottom of fenderwell. I am trying to come up with a plan to change out the springs on my 2500. Long story but my truck is a 2wd and they dont make much for the front of it. I am contemplating coming up with a different plan and...

    before and after height measurement 4wd 1500

    Kelderman also came back and stated that their front kit is 1.5 inches taller than stock 4x4 2500 height which will of course be too tall. Thats why I am back to stock 4wd suspension. can anyone share their ride height?

    before and after height measurement 4wd 1500

    Thuren unfortunately does not have 2wd springs and their 4wd are going to be too tall-for the 2500 . I want some 1500 springs and all they have are the front coilovers which wont work. I need 1500 4wd springs

    before and after height measurement 4wd 1500

    thanks for the reply, im not real keen on air suspension. So, back to the springs the truck itself I would think weighs about the same, the running gear or unsprung weight being the main difference so then its up to the spring to control the unsprung weight along with the shocks. Anyhow its a...

    Camper shell mpg drop?

    they will tell you that the cap will actually improve mileage because the airflow is cleaner. However, I have had two 2500s with shells, the first one the top of the line ARE or I whatever and now the bottom of the line Leer. Same mileage before and after. couple hundred pounds on this I was...

    4wd 1500 springs on a 2500 2wd?

    i want to replace my springs for a better ride dont need the load carrying capacity. they dont make springs for a 2wd only 4 so i thought maybe 4wd 1500s would help. the truck is heavier of course with stout axles and big brakes, 10 ply tires so unsprung weight is a problem maybe 2" lift...

    How are you guys getting 22 MPG?

    I drove two of them and dislike all the gear hunting and downshifting, which was so off for what I was doing in one particular case (accelerating onto the highway) that it was just plain awkward. I loved my 5 speed, always in the right gear and easy to induce it to downshift if needed. I just...

    How are you guys getting 22 MPG?

    So I have read these over the years and never get the mileage others claim. My 09 Crew Cab got 18-18.5 Highway left lane running 75 -80. Yes I can get better if I wanted to slow down for sure. Best tank was 19.5 running 65. Now I have a 2500 crew cab 6 speed 5.7L with the 6'7" bed. Best...

    How Many Miles on you 6.4 Hemi??????

    6.4 owners....

    I have the 5.7L in my 2wd because that was what was available in used trucks and I didnt want to take any further mpg penalty. I went with a 2500 specifically because I disliked the 8 speed on several test drives, it sucks. My 5 speed in the 09 1500 I had was so much better.

    How's This Deal?

    you should be getting a minimum of 20% off to be a good deal,especially considering you are getting a more optioned model. Like someone said, timing is right $14K off. If you trade is a creampuff try craigslist and ebay first. That way you wont feel so bad when they give you wholesale. Play...
